There is no such distinction. Feminism is female supremacism and always has been. The idea the femism is really about equality, or that women are people too, is just the camoflage to the useful idiots.

They think they haven&#39;t got a voice unless everyone shuts up, listens to them, and doesn&#39;t criticise them, take the piss out of them, call them idiots etc. Well, feminist fools, you, and women, in general, have always had a voice, and having a voice does not mean anyone has to listen to you or be polite to you.

I know many other contributors personally. We are not all male, by far. we have many different positions on philosophical and political issues, and most importantly, all the contributors I know are tenured. <br /><br />To claim that these discussions, with sustained and objective arguments about justice and social psychology are men complaining &quot;how women are taking their jobs&quot; is ignorant to the point of being ridiculous. <br /><br />That is on a par with describing an APA session on skepticism or materialism as atheists talking about how their the Bible demands to much of them, or describing a conference on egalitarianism as a bunch of lazy junkies complaining that the taxpayers won&#39;t give them money for drugs. <br /><br />If that&#39;s you reading and thinking at your highest level, this isn&#39;t such a great blog for you. <br /><br />The reason this blog exists, and the reason there are so many critical discussions about pseudofeminism here, is that we couldn&#39;t critically discuss these things anywhere else without unfair moderation, and they&#39;re important trends in the profession. If you want other discussions, great. There are hundreds of Philosophy blogs for you to visit on every topic. This is the only one where we get to discuss this stuff without censorship, tone policing or moderation.
